Once a place of laughter and joy
Once a place of learning
Now roting in decay
Now falling apart
There was my math class room
There was my english class
learned spanish there
Learned home ec there
The stairs have cracks in them
Some steps gone completely
The walls have started caving in
Part of the second floor is now part of the first
Dodgeball in the gym
Laps around the court
Basketball was played
Lockers destroyed with doors hanging open
You can see some stuff students left behind
Most however had rotted way
Desks scattered everywhere
Chalkboards fallen over
Windows cracked or missing completely
Once a place of laughter and joy
Once a place of learning
Now sad

The abandoned state of this school, and the melancholy brought by the memory of its once-filled halls, really comes through in this Tony. Enjoyed the read. ❤️🙏
Thank you Tristan
Such a contrast between the abandoned school and the place once filled with joy and laughter. A poignant poem Tony.

Decay takes its way in all things. Entropy rules. We may say it is sad but from decay comes new growth.

Thank you Thad, best regards
It is sad to see this Tony. When I went back to my home town a couple of years ago my school, built in 1703, was a car-park!!

In my humble opinion it's a fabulous poem. Evocative and steeped in nostalgia. Loved it!
